My father is a rider (since 1987), and has been riding the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 since 2011, and has been to every state. He goes to Ladakh every year with his group, and to various parts of the country. This December, he had covered all the seven North East states, starting from Guwahati and ending at Sikkim, and back to Guwahati. He has also been to Bhutan, Laos, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Nepal, China and currently planning to go Vietnam and Thailand from Guwahati. He has also done a trip from Guwahati to Delhi, then to Kashmir, Ahmedabad, Kanyakumari, and back to Guwahati. His group was also the first to track the Dhola Hodiya Bridge (India's longest river bridge). Every ride was done on Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350, every ride starting from Guwahati and ending back at Guwahati. So yes, I too believe that Royal Enfield motorcycles are the most reliable motorcycles around. I too will purchase one very soon.

Brother i own too TB350 and believe me since day one i am continuously driving in hilly areas. Around 20K kms have been covered and around 80% of ride was in hilly areas. Whole joshimath,nainital,kumon ,garhwal and high altitude of more than 1200m have been covered but not a single problem occurred to my bullet. As u said that in around 1100kms you need to chnaged your rear break shoe , but for your information i ride arround 5000 km and after than also break shoe dosnt wants change but for my safety i changed it. I dount about your driving, not everyone can ride bullet on terrain. I am saying this because its not normal bike similar to 100-200cc giving sudden surge to acceleration will cause damage and vibrate the engine. Improve your riding conditions and definitely u wont feel disappointed by owing RE. And as its slogans say" its not meant for hurry rides".

Sari bikes to india mi hi pakistan me to sirf honda hi wo be tirdclasd . love india . love indian bikers❤❤❤❤❤❤

bhai bike ki galati nhi hai... aap itna saman aur 2 log 1 bike pe jane se yei haal hoga...

A free advice, Never go to a very long drive with a pillon rider as it will be a very uncomfortable and torcher for him or her. Pillon rider gets no scope of adjusting and changing the sitting position and most of the time they can even move. More over Its not limited to RE, I have seen all types of expensive bikes and cars failing on the road. If bike or cars clutch plate is worn off then it's only riders riding habit. One more free advice... Do not go beyond 100, No matter what bike you have whether it has ABS or EBD instant break will lead skid and fall. Best of luck..

Yeah i also own a thunderbird,which is only good for highway cruising,himalayan is best in this case,high ground clearance411 cc,also good cushioned seats.

Bhai u r rly good...hmsa aise hi imandri se batana her baat...

After I owned RE thunderbird 350 I'm becoming mechanic! When ever rainy days ago the Rust cover the metal! BUT YOU CAN'T NEVER REPLACE THE COMFORT OF ROYAL ENFIELD! I'm not happy unless I'm riding my bike. :)

It's not the Bike who takes the Rider to Ladhak but It's the Rider who takes the Bike to Ladhak I like your spirit of Riding..👍 so keep riding.

Well done with the vlog bhai..! My general observation regarding your bad experience - 1. The guy who serviced your bike left the rear break too tight because of which your bike didn't pick speed on highway... I'm sure the 350 can pull till 130kmph with some effort... 2. When you started using your skill at Zozilla with full throttle, this is the point where you started frying your clutch-plates... 2. Khardungla is where the bike gave up due to burnt clutch..! All in all maybe your bike was overburdened with luggage and pillion but I think the service centre guy did the terrible job with your bike..! That badly fit rear break kept a high stress on your engine throughout the trip, other than this there is no way the break shoe could wear out at 1000 kms..! I'm still happy you guys made it home safe..!

ईमानदारी से बताया उसके लिए धन्यवाद

True riders kabhi bhi bias nehi bante hai. U proved it once again.

11:07 what is bhaiya? what is ? 😂😂😂😂😂

Please remember whenever you go to high altitude remove the air filter you will never face this loss of power problem on any RE 350. I been Leh many times on TB350 AVL and TB 500.

Great video ur honest......

Bhai .... lag tha h aap Thunderbird ka review Karne the Leh ..... nice

I am from ladakh, u will c there max. Re bikes because it survives there long while other bikes cannot survive too long. It is the only bike that can ride pangong 1000 times. I think bro u r not a good rider.

MOTIVATION BROTHER

Nice video bhai

Jab bhi piche ki or skid huwa to piche ka brake leyna partahein. Na ki sirf front brake. Left foot on ground n right foot on the brake pad.

RE will never ever listen to all these problems but things will change as jawa has launched the vehicles for competing RE. Now RE lovers may find some quality

I had the same problem with my TB350.... Complaints every month.....no power...no brakes..no handling......sold it for a fair price......now ringing FZ25........riding happily

Thanks You Bhai for your true information...

I love Thunderbird 350x ❤️ ♥️

Bhai merey dost keh pass bhi thunderbird 350 hai.... Uska bhi yahi problem tha... Woh high range Mai chadti hi nahi hai....

Bhai utna luggage aur pillion baita hai isiliye aisa huva utna luggage bi hai aur pillion be baita hai 200 +100 =300 kg hogaya classic Hotha tho koshish karke nikal thatha thunder bird jarahatha par apne break mara squid hogha ya duke be ghira 😯😯 thunder bird is a good bike royal enfield ek old Acha india ki company ride safe 😊

Bhai ne such bola lohe ke bare me👍

mere experience mai thandhe jagah par apko kick start karna chahiye RE ke bikes ko koi dikat nahi aayegi. plus apko kick pump bhi karna chahiye tha. any ways thanks for sharing ur experience

i have also Thunderbird 350 and me 2 bar ladakh kar chuka hu from siliguri west bengal . mereko to aisa kuch vi problems nehi hua trust me . aapka bike me clutch plate pressure plate clutch adjustment ka kuch issue ho sakta hai . ha highest mountains and bad roads sab gari ko charne me problems hota hai . humlog ke sath ek xuv 500 geya tha jisko vi problems hua ...... highest mountains me oxygen ki kami ke Karan sab vehicles ko problems hota hai . maine ladakh ke time k&n air filter use kiya usse air pressure badta hai . mereko aisa kuch khas problems nehi hua

Duke 250 choti gari nai hai . Thunderbird se bohot bohot zada achi hai

You should drive along this kind of road. To ge full performance.

I have done Ladakh on my TB a couple of times. Not just Ladakh but i have done entire journey from Rajasthan, Karnataka, Shilong, Bengal n few more along with Tollfree traveller and my experiences are good with Royal Enfield so far. It has been 8yrs now i own this Bike and even after 65k KM its still rocking. Plenty of travellers use royal enfield to climb Khardungla through out the year and i feel there are plenty successful. You may see broken down enfields more due to their massive population and bad riding techniques. I am not defending Enfields but sharing my experiences. Clutch plates and falls are riders mistakes on how well they ride nothing to do with the bikes.

भाई साहब आप ने कड़वी सच्चाई को कबूला, जो आदमी फँसता हैं उसी को पता चलता है

Carburetor must be retuned before going to higher altitudes ,this was your mistake brother

Bhot Sahi bole bhai

bhai RE me thoda setting karna padta he twin engin hota he jab pistan ghumta he tab usme spark hota he spark tabhi hota he jav petrol or oxygen ka level sam ho agar aap aesi jagah pe ho jaha oxygen kam ho to usko setting karna padta he carbareter me agar ek bar aesa hota he tab uska jo 1:1 resio hota he vo na rahe to aapko jo jo bhi problem aayi he vo aati he agar bike day day tune karte rahete to aesa nhi hota

bhai bhai bhai ye engine problem hai . fast and furious m dom ka dialouge to suna hi hoga matter ye nhi karta gaadi konsi hai matter ye krta hai ki gaadi kon chlara hai 👍 warna RE best hai

this missing bike is due to over flow of oil through carburator and presence of less air that”s why bike gives missng. same situation i faced .

Mere bhai pichla tyre 17 ka dal lo aur agla 18 ka. Thora better torque mil jaega pahad chahdhne pe. Aur bhai Thora petrol ratio increase Kar do. Filter cone wala daal lo. Excess iron weights Nikal ke aluminium parts use karo jaise swing arm and rear sub frame.

yes i agree with you

Must check the petrol tank. There is a symptom of water logging in petrol tank.

Actually if you are going to ladhak with pillion it's not a good idea to take 350,because of luggage & kerb weight it becomes underpower,

Good to see the experience shared. any dominar from west delhi?

Esa h bhai..sbke chalane pe depend krta h...ap log hilly areas se nhi ho to fir dikkat ati h chalane me...mere pas activa 100 h or bht hilly areas pe leke gya hun use me

Nach na jane angan teda.... super splendor le ja....

This is why i do not advice anyone for buying RE... But but but lagta hai carb tuning nahi karvai aapne. Now clutch plate was damaged because of excess cluth use because your bike was underpowered because carb was not tuned for high altitude.

Carburettor ko lean setting pe try karna tha ek baar.. high altitude pe oxigen kam hai..which leads to improper combustion if rich mixture is supplied..

Clutch plate wala incident mere sath bhi huva hai, kashid Beach se pune return aate huve, with bajaj pulsar 135 LS, but clutch plate replace karane ke Bad abatak koi problem nahi aya.... 😊

Even in Shillong my 350x gave me this kind of trouble

Pta tha muje... Clutch plate khrab pehle pta tha ..to kyu leke gye leh... Clutch plates zroori hai climbing k liye... Yahan bhai khud ki glty hai...aur... Jb bike peeche ki trf srkne lge to... Peeche ki break dbani hoty hai ..yeh sbi ko pta hota hai yr!

I couldn't see the whole video but I saw your brake comment. This is what happens when you're riding in mountains.. You need to use gear braking instead of complete rear brakes. Why? Becauseany bike whether drum or disc brakes will go through braking issue in descent. Understand the physics behind it. Be it africa twin or tiger or bullet or a scooter. Gear braking is the only thing that will help you in slowing down

I OWN TBX 350 BS IV. A LITTLE BIT UNDER POWERED. SPEED BETTER TO KEEP WITHIN 100 KMPS IN HIGHWAYS (iN PLAIN LANDS). I THINK YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEMS IN YOUR BIKE. IN HILLY AREAS I KNOW (WHAT I DO ALSO) FRONT BRAKES ARE USED WITH ENGINE BREAKING WHAT I ALWAYS DO. I DONT THINK SO MANY PROBLEMS ARE THERE IN TBX 350 THAT IT CAN'T BE USED IN LADAKH RIDING. I AM PLANNING TO GO TO LADAKH IN NEXT JULY 2022. LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Bhai bike pe jana hai to akele jao. Pariwar leke jana hai to 4wheeler le jao.

9 minutes me i was just thinking about clutch plate problem as acceleration decreases drastically and @10 mins u mentioned that 😂🤣

Noted bro

Bhai ganga river n road kat diya tha 2/2.5 ft pani tha mitti niche chali gyi thi unchai khub thi kyuki tila h hastinapur pas. Meri thunderbird Alhamdulillah raja ki tarah cross ki. Love RE TBH350.

Bike ko kuch nhi hoga kyu ke lohe ki baNi hai apke hath pair toot sakte hai😜😂😂😂 Best line of the today's video. I am also disappointed with royal Enfield.

RE se Ladakh na ho pata but Yaha dominar wale Australia aur Artic pohuch gaye

Apki ye baat sunn ke mujhe bhi aur frustration hogaya bhai...hope your bike is doing good now

Royal Enfield 🤩🤩🤩🤩

We r also disappoint to here a bad journey with ur wife

🙏

Subscribed for your honesty..

in my exp may 350 leke darjeeling dist me ek jaga hay latpanchor bolke.. us pahar me uthne par hi bike nehi char rahi rhi.. upar se Honda aviator scuty aram se uth rahi thi..

U can take royal Enfield anywhere..i have done ladakh 7 times on my classic 350..and spiti 6 times..also nepal and bhutan once on my classic 350. But bhaiyo akele hi jao high terrain par..bike hai truck nahi ki samaan aur insaan dono ko uthale..also.keep in mind..jaane se pehle clutch plate aur brakes change karwana matlb karwana hi hai chahe kaise b ho..also try to use customised seats with high cushion..mazaa na aye to shauk se bech dena APNI bike.

Kya Bajaj dominar 400 sahi hai Ladakh ride ke liye

Bhai isko beach ke 650 le lo. Ye old school bikes heavy h and brake Jada ghisega hi. Pichla bhi disc hi hona chahiye.

Hiee bhai after a long time

Don't have love for dominar but one thing i support of them about royal Enfield-hathi mat palo...super bakwas bike...I have three bikes in garage gixxer ktm and fz. These bikes u can ride where ever u want.

Royal Enfield ka HMT watches waala haal hone waala hai. This company is still in 1950s.

Bat to sahi hai mere pass bhi hai thunderbird bohut problem hota hai har din kharap hota hai bhai..

Carburettor tuning is needed before the Ladakh roads.

Chalo kisi ne to karwa sach bola... nhn to sab ke sab bolte rehte hain tough bike hai, kahin bhi le jao... ghatiya company....

RE TB 350 worst choice even I had same fault and issue within 3 months of purchase. Rear disc and break pad was replaced twice. It's engineering failure from RE. Now I preferred my new Honda unicorn 150 much better the RE in every expect. RE waste of money &. Time.

Thanks bhai

Koi Na bhai aa gai ..real Royal Java 42

Sell yout thunderbird & buy DOMINAR 400

Kisi ne such hi kaha hai haathi mat paloo 😂

Thanks you so much

Yes... Bhai

Very disappointing video, as all the points you have tried to establish are very weak. Let me answer, 1. You are riding with pillion, and you are comparing your bike with other "chhota mota" bikes, which are riding alone. You should put the correct perspective. 2. Being a long stroke bike, even a 350 cc engine can give decent amount of torque at LOW END..let me repeat, at LOW END. It seems you do not know how to handle your bike. Maybe next time you can use heavy duty clutch plates for hill ascent. 3. A 350 cc long stroke bike is never meant for high speed, it is built for torque. In the highways, you push it beyond 100 Kph, NOT a good idea for its health. It is important to know the limit of your bike. Harley street 750 has a top speed of 170 Kph, no match for a Kawasaki Ninja 650, which can effortlessly cross 200 Kph. More cc does not mean more speed. You may have damaged your bike on your approach to Ladakh. 4. Another point that proves your wrong driving is your burnt clutch. Do not put this on your bike. 5. "Most of the broken down bikes are RE"..another very lame point..the reason being most of bikes in Ladakh are REs. 6. At high altitude, having a carburetor gives you the flexibility of tuning it. You should have made the mix lean. All you need is a screw driver!!.. 7. On both the places that you fell, it seems you stalled. It happens if you are applying your clutch more. Clutch will make sure you lose your momentum. On ascent, you are bound to fall.

Naach na jaane... Aangan teda... Chlani ni aati to bullet ko kosre ho.... So selfish... Baki classic standard wale chadd gye.... Ever thought tum hi ku ni chadd paye..... Kyuki u dont know how to ride one

Good advise bro.. Appreciate..

I too have Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350. I touched top speed of 120-123 km/h on Delhi Chandigarh highway. I had been to Rothang Pass vaiya Chandigarh, Shimla & Manali and return to Delhi with average milage of 37km/ltr. It was 1600 round trip and and no Break bush issue and no Clutch plate issue.

its just rider's love towards enfields....otherwise they had notHing to give us...cheap qualityaterial,unrelaiable....only thing in brand name....still thumping re tb 350 x...keep riding

Dear friend High altitude me Vacuum Carburator Teek tharah se kaam nahi karega. Old model ka carburator me ithana badiya problems nahi ayega. FI is beat for high altirude tide bcz fuel injecting pressure hamesha same hoga

Very genuine really appreciate your work

Bikes having fuel injector system is useful in high altitude that's why KTM bikes work properly at high altitude

Bhai apka dukhda sun kar meri ankh bhar ayee.har kisi re owner ka yehi dukhda hai

Very helpful

Bhai change your spark plugs change your airfilter change your exhaust change your tires change your handle bar. Look after yous clutch Find a good machenic outside I have taken my electra 350. With no issues

Up to now I have watched couple of videos and I think out of all the vloggers and videos i would say yours are so informative and have some content which is real. Keep up the good work and keep it real

Bhai intercom ki jankari do yar

V informative video sir 👍

Very honest review..!! Par Himalayan bs4 sleet v kya aisa ya almost aisa hee hai.. ya kaun sa bike tension free hoga.. pls suggest.

Honest review...Thanks

Well said

Kabhi problem nahi ayegi...

My TB now more than 40k kms still no problem with the bike in one year.service one in service center next in local workshop then service center like that . give bike to experience local service center.

Bro ho skta hai apko koi problm gadi ne di ho....but itna jrur bolunga jab koi tourst gumne ya kisi km se ldhak ata hai to pehli bt to ynha ki jo Drive hai vo boht alag hai...jise Highway me rehne wale itni jaldi nai smj pate....kynki vnha clutch or race ka koi level hota hai jise boht hi ache se cover krna pdta hai....or jo apki bike satarting hone pr bulsh ki awaj ki awaj kr rhi thi vo to problm thik hai....Baki Apki video me dekha jb ap bar bar chot lgne se bche frrr b save Vapis Ache se aa gye..boht achi bt hai🙏
